Neighborhood Centers Land Use Concepts <br />With the String of Pearls corridor concept and design principles in mind, the study team <br />focused on possible development opportunities and site-specific land use design concepts <br />for each of the Neighborhood Centers. <br />Regional Gateway Neighborhood Center <br />The Regional Gateway serves as the northern entrance to the study area and is <br />characterized by larger commercial and office sites and the Randy Pape Beltline, which <br />provides regional connections. LTD's new Santa Clara Transit Station is expected to open <br />in early 2021 on the northeast corner of Green Lane and River Road. These characteristics <br />attract people throughout the region to this Neighborhood Center. There are existing <br />vacant and opportunity sites for redevelopment that could add density and diversity of <br />uses to the Regional Gateway over time. The Regional Gateway would also benefit from <br />better multimodal connections and the creation of pedestrian -friendly streetscapes. <br />Opportunities <br />OOpportunity for local commercial <br />— — <br />and retail development -"Gateway" <br />— <br />.. <br />....-..--- <br />Opportunity to improve connection <br />V and safety for walking and biking <br />C <br />undertheBeltlinecverpass:- <br />� <br />V Vacant Sites <br />C', <br />} <br />_ <br />OOpportunity to orient future <br />businesses to the street edge and <br />create a more walkable cluster <br />)w . i`B <br />Existing or Planned Projects <br />OSanta Clara Square commercial <br />center <br />I <br />Beltline Improvement Projects, see <br />© Ol Beltline Facility Plan <br />` <br />' <br />Legend IN Multi -Family Housing <br />Landbank Site <br />Existing Shared Use Path <br />TSP Projects- within 20 years <br />Affordahle Housing <br />III Rapid Flash Beacon Crossing <br />Potential Enhanced Transit Stop {Movng Ahead) <br />Greenway ...
